Croke Park is waiting to review elements of the fundraising around Louth’s proposed stadium in Dundalk before committing to the project financially.
The matter was discussed at a Louth county board meeting on Monday night where chairman Peter Fitzpatrick said that “Gaels in Louth deserve more from Croke Park and the GAA” and “beg or borrow, this stadium is going to happen”, reports the Drogheda Independent.
Balbriggan-based firm Ganson has been awarded the stadium contract with the development set to cost €25m, more than double the initial €12m forecast. Indeed, it was reported that Ganson had originally come in at €29m before being whittled down as a result of what county treasurer Aidan Berrill described as “small cutbacks”.
